“Catacombs with Leo! A must do!”
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of the catacombs with Leo. Nothing is more enjoyable than experiencing a tour with someone who is so completely passionate about the place you are touring. Leo was knowledgeable, friendly, approachable, relatable, and incredibly passionate about the catacombs.

Indeed Carrie, I also believe that visiting this musuem without any guide makes you miss so many important and fun facts. It was a pleasure for me to have you. Take care.
